9. Doesn't really matter who we nominate

If we don't get out and vote in 2014 and we lose control of the Senate, or lose more seats in the House, whoever we put in the WH will still have to deal with a congress that will fight them at every turn. I would love to see a democrat get elected that would really fight for the people of this country, but if congress isn't passing bills that actually help those who need the help, then we are back to the same old BS that we have seen since president Obama won back in 2008.

We really need to concentrate on holding on to the Senate, and doing or best to take back the house, or at the least "gaining" more seats in the House. A president can do only so much without the help of congress. We need a congress that will work with the president and not fight them the whole time they are in office.

Take back congress this year and then worry about who is the nominee after that. Just my two cents worth.
